Newsmakers Polanski’s lawyers accuse L.A. prosecutors

Roman Polanski

LOS ANGELES — Attorneys for Roman Polanski accused Los Angeles County prosecutors of misconduct as part of continued efforts to have a decades-old sexual assault case against the Oscar-winning director dismissed. Polanski’s legal team filed court papers Monday that allege district attorneys and judges carried out “serious misconduct” in an effort to prosecute the filmmaker, the Los Angeles Times reported. It is the latest twist in the legal saga that began in 1977 when Polanski was charged with raping a 13-year-old girl during a photo shoot at a private home in Los Angeles. In a plea deal, the Polish-born director pleaded guilty to one count of statutory rape. The night before his sentencing, he fled to France. Monday’s 133-page motion seeks an evidentiary hearing to determine whether “pervasive” misconduct and a “false” extradition request sent this year by the Department of Justice to the Polish government requires the case against Polanski to be dismissed. Polanski won an Academy Award for best director for his 2002 film The Pianist and was nominated for 1974’s Chinatown and 1979’s Tess. The Associated Press

Some of them clearly are designed to pull on heartstrings. 8 p.m. on NBC The Sing-Off The a cappella singing contest is back in a one-shot special edition for the holidays, with Nick Lachey back as host as six groups compete for the $50,000 grand prize. Jewel and Shawn Stockman also return as judges, joined by Patrick Stump, the lead singer of Fall Out Boy. 8 p.m. on CW The 100 Clarke (Eliza Taylor) resurfaces at the camp, but she doesn’t have good news for others, in the new episode “Spacewalker.” Finn (Thomas McDonell) pays an emotional price for what he’s done. Information received by Abby (Paige Turco) prompts her to brace for a showdown. Lindsey Morgan and Devon Bostick also star.

WASHINGTON or decades, comic books have been in color, but now they truly reflect all the hues of American society. The new Captain America is black. A Superman who is suspiciously similar to President Barack Obama recently headlined a comic book. Thor is a woman, Spider-Man is part-Puerto Rican and Ms. Marvel is Muslim. Mainstream comic book superheroes — America’s modern mythology — have been redrawn from the stereotypical brown-haired, blueeyed white male into a world of multicolored, multireligious and multigendered crusaders to reflect a greater diversity in their audience. Society has changed, so superheroes have to as well, said Axel Alonso, editor in chief at Marvel Comics, who in November debuted Captain America No. 1 with Samuel Wilson, the first African American superhero taking over Captain America’s red, white and blue uniform and shield. “Roles in society aren’t what they used to be. There’s far more diversity,” said Alonso, who has also shepherded a gay wedding in the X-Men, a gender change from male to female in Thor and the first

mainstream female Muslim hero in Ms. Marvel. “The new diverse comic characters are far from the first: Marvel introduced the world to Samuel Wilson as the Falcon, the comic’s first African-American superhero, in 1969 as a sidekick to Captain America. In 1977, DC Comics introduced Black Lightning, a schoolteacher who gains electrical powers and becomes a superhero. And Marvel isn’t the only company looking at diversity. An alternative black Superman, one who is president of the United States, is part of a team in DC Comics’ The Multiversity. DC also brags of having more comic books featuring female leads than any other company, including Batgirl, Catwoman, Batwoman and Wonder Woman, the longest-running comic book with a female hero. But not everyone is happy with the changes: Noah Berlasky, author of the upcoming Wonder Woman: Bondage and Feminism in the Marston/ Peter Comics, 1941-1948, said portions of the largely white, male comic book audience don’t want favored characters to change. “Changing people’s race or changing people’s gender can feel more threatening or a bigger deal than changing Thor into a frog,” said Berlasky, referencing a popular storyline in which the Norse god transforms into an amphibian. “Characters are always changing, but there are cultural lenses which make it seem like a bigger deal if Johnny Storm is black.”

Magazine apologizes for story on 17-year-old millionaire stock trader By Terrence McCoy and Elahe Izadi The Washington Post

Mohammed Islam, 17, wants you to think he’s a big shot. On his website, Ettaz Financial, he wears a pair of fogged-over glasses, expression serious, sporting a red tie on a snowy day. The New York highschool senior says he got interested in the financial industry “at the tender age of 8,” quickly fell into the third-rate world of penny stocks before graduating to the futures market after finding “a love for risk and volatility.” How much has he made? Millions, he said. His net worth has soared into the “high eight figures.” The world is filled with teenagers like Mo Islam, who now says he never made a dime on the stock market. They play fast and loose with facts. But they don’t usually get the treatment Islam just got in Sunday’s issue of New York Magazine. Now the magazine has issued an apology for that story about the high school senior. “We were duped,” reads a statement released Tuesday and also posted as an editor’s note on the story itself. “Our fact-checking process was obviously inadequate; we take full responsibility and we should have known better. New York apologizes to our readers.” The article, reported and written by staff writer Jessica Pressler, begins with a rumor. Someone — it’s unspecified who — said Mo had pocketed $72 million by trading penny

stocks. The original headline: “A Stuyvesant Senior Made $72 Million Trading Stocks on His Lunch Break.” “As part of the research process, the magazine sent a factchecker to Stuyvesant [High School] where Islam produced a document that appeared to be a Chase bank statement attesting to an eight-figure bank account,” the magazine said Tuesday. “After the story’s publication, people questioned the $72 million figure in the headline.” In an editorial note published on Monday, New York Magazine had said the problems with the piece rested solely with the story’s headline, which it changed. The new one? “A Stuyvesant Senior Made Millions Picking Stocks. His Hedge Fund Opens as Soon As He Turns 18.” Coming on the heels of Rolling Stone’s disastrous story of a University of Virginia gang rape, though nowhere near as serious in its consequences, the story unraveled almost as quickly as it went viral. New York Magazine’s was getting pounded in its comments section: “How dumb do you have to [be] to believe that this kid made $72M trading stocks during lunch?” In the hours since the story unraveled, Islam retained a lawyer and public relations firm, 5WPR. Pressler is reportedly headed to Bloomberg News to write about the “culture of wealth and money.”
